Arkansas Federal Credit Union, Jacksonville, Ark., presented an $80,560 check to Arkansas Children’s Hospital Foundation President Fred Scarborough. Since 1998, Arkansas Federal has contributed over $680,000 to Arkansas Children’s Hospital. The money donated by Arkansas Federal over the past four years helped fund the ENT Clinic waiting room. Arkansas Federal employees and members raised $70,560 this past year through several fundraising events, including the 7th annual Arkansas Federal Golf Classic, Painting with a Purpose, candy and cardstock sales and several Bunko Bash events. CO-OP, the electronic funds transfer network and processor, contributed the additional $10,000 for Arkansas Federal’s fundraising efforts through its Miracle Match program. Arkansas FCU is part of Credit Unions for Kids, a national sponsor of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
